Fox is indeed kicking butt. I tell you though….I have noticed a subtle shift in Fox from right of center to center. Maybe it’s just that they’ve picked up a few analysts from the soon-to-be-defunct other networks and the lefty slant is coming along for the ride.

I’ll even take this one step further….I think the broadcast media is dying too. All of it.

The problem is not really right, left, or even intellectual. It’s a matter of simple economics, sound judgment and self respect.

Most people will take care of themselves if they have to. My five year old learned this when she had to get her own bowl of cereal because mom though it was time for her to get it herself.

1) Budget: Spending more than you make is what got us into this whole mess in the first place. Left or Right makes no difference. No parent, business executive, or finance professional will disagree. Balancing a check book is basic.

2) Welfare and unemployment: Everyone may need help eventually, but welfare should not be a way of life. I am perfectly willing to help anyone in need but if I’m supporting him or her shouldn’t they be my dependent?

3) Sharing the wealth: Why should anyone want to work 45+ hours a week to share with someone who doesn’t even want to try? This land of opportunity!! If you cannot make it you’re probably not trying hard enough. Sell your expensive car, get rid of your cell phone, and turn off your huge wall mounted LCD TV and get a second job.
That’s what our parents and grandparents did…Go ahead ask your grandparents if they would have stood in line to collect unemployment for a hundred plus weeks.

4) Abortion: That’s between you and your God.

5) Guns: Why should anyone care?

I could go on forever and never mention Republican or Democrat.

Fix the first three issues and issue 4 and 5 can be battled out in the political arena.

And yes, I do think it’s this simple.

The reason for doing so is not to be mean. It is to give perspective to many of Obama’s policy positions. Don’t you think that coming from a broken family likely shaped his political thinking? Don’t you think that his childhood, coupled with left wing ivy league schools influenced his current policy positions?

Being nice is a two way street. Obama has circumvented Congress by pushing cap and trade regulations. Something he himself said would “necessarily skyrocket energy prices.” Obamacare is the biggest assault on freedom our country has faced.

So…. as long as this President – or any other – is assaulting the Republic, he (they) will continue to get hammered in these pages.
